What makes white racism inherently a part of conservatism?

Been seeing this general noise for a while now. It goes hand in hand with SJW rhetoric for example. It seems to feed into their mentality that since
they're against whites whom are racist against minorities that they themselves CANT be racist (like that whole line that 'blacks cant be racist'),
although this isn't about that.

More and more I've been seeing in recent weeks (generally as a deflection in response to liberal violence & terrorism) cases of individuals with a
history anti-minority racism and violent tendencies being propped up as like the ultimate proof that conservatives are violent racists.

What I don't get is where it is in the 'conservative manifesto' this whole notion is cemented as reality?

Note that I'm not even a conservative, I just call out fallacies and lunacy as I make note of them.

I have seen some of this data that the GOP back in like the 80's had a tendency to try to appeal to white voters. I'm pretty sure the one quote even
mentioned something about acknowledging how the Democrat's were overtly targeting minorities for their voter base, and so the Republican's leaned more
towards whites. But as far as my recollection whatever this manifested as it was a more subtle effect.

Who can even name what the 'face' of such an initiative even was?

Is merely appealing to one group or another really the stuff of the makings of a race war?

This whole inquiry brings up many other question such as: How wasn't the Democrat's deliberately appealing to minorities also not racism?

Although more in the spirit of of this would be: What policies have conservatives pushed & passed that hurt minorities and / or helped whites?

That's should be the big one, as it goes without saying the liberals have been for decades following this whole Critical Race Theory doctrine to the
point of the "PC" dogma that has manifested from it. It's gone so far off the rails this decade that there's has been "open season on whites" on the
streets with everyday liberals raging across the Internet in defense of the perp's out committing mob violence hate crimes and mass murder of whites &
conservatives.

The logic seems to go that since the likes of the KKK tend to vote Republican that somehow it is a "part" of conservatism. Perhaps there is something
to this I just havent gathered yet? Or could it be that since the anti-white racists (which includes actual whites) have made it a part of
liberalism that its inherent in their minds that 'of course anti-minority racism is conservatism'. That wouldn't be a shock, afterall, as both
liberals and conservatives are typically binary mentality types who prefer to lump all opposition into one nice neat 'other team' description, while
in the case of the liberals no matter how ruthlessly racist they are in their minds as long as its anti-white racism then it doesn't actually count as
"racism" no matter how vicious the resulting hate crimes that flow from their logic may be.

These are just my observations and the resulting questions from being tuned out of all things left / right politics and social media until one year
ago, and then observing & debating everyone here in ATS on these matters.

Conservative liberal are BS terms anyway.
Most people are conservative on some issues and liberal on others.
On economic issues I would be classified as liberal on many social issues I would be called conservative: like on crime, abortion, morality.
Don’t like Hillary, Obama or Trump
On foreign issues I’m with Rand Paul, so where or what am I?
As for civil rights, I’d be called liberal

Now you want to know why some people think conservativism is associated with being anti-minority

Well it’s based on their opposition to social programs that help poor non-white people. The irony is these programs also help poor white people

Also often they go opposite of right thinking conservatives such as Ron and Rand Paul on foreign issues because of their too nationalistic approach
and some racialist beliefs

What does liberal on civil rights mean? Does it mean that some people should be more equal than others?

No, it means that the government should in some instances and the society as well, should understand the historical realities of racism towards
the minority population, and be aware of its pernicious impact on the people whose rights were denied for decades, including woman, who btw
couldn’t even vote until the early 20th century.

Look after the historical inequalities in our system and through the system address these matters.

One of the reasons Republicans are perceived to have become attached to racism is because of the southern strategy, which employed changes in specific
language as needed in order to hint at racist actions/ideals, while not being overtly racist.

But I don't think they are doing that anymore. There are leftovers still within the party that are products of that era, but it's not part of their
agenda any longer.

In fact, until Trump came along, I think they were trying to step away from that.

Let's also not forget that we should not lump conservatives in with the Southern Strategy Republicans. True conservatives don't see race. They see
freedom and that's it.

Because by definition CONSERVATIVES want to conserve the past.. well America has a very, very white supremacist past..

So by definition almost all of your American white supremacist will be conservatives.

That said the reverse doesn't seem to hold true..

Black panthers didnt support Hillary, but every kkk member supported trump..

You might have an argument with that top half, but that bottom line is a no brainer: whomever is pushing brazenly anti-white SJW stuff the KKK
are inherently going to be against. You could name a scientific law / mathematical theorem after that effect.

The part I scream BS about is how whoever in response to SJW's they get behind then the lib's turn around and brand that person as being the likes of
KKK.

The problem with that logic is everyone opposed to the SJW's are therefore likes of the KKK. And this is what I mean by "Binary Social Logic",
which in this case is uber ironic considering the most hardcore binary logic types currently are the SJW's whom also scream that gender isn't binary.
Snarf snarf.

Historical examples

Housing discrimination,

employment discrimination

Educational discrimination

Deliberate segregation

Police brutality

Mmm, reperations? How would you apply those so that the equally affected received equal compensation?

Your statement that democrats, mainly from the south use to be the racists is true.

However, after the southern strategy that changed and those racists’ democrats turned into republicans because the Democratic Party through Johnson
and Kennedy as democrats valiantly dealt with the racism through government intervention programs.

On May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation of public schools was unconstitutional in the United States.[1] That
ruling would focus the spotlight of national attention in the United States upon the Arkansas National Guard and the Integration of Central High
School. The Arkansas National Guard was drawn into the conflict when Governor Orval Faubus ordered them to "Preserve the Peace" by turning away the
black students who were attempting to integrate into Little Rock's Central High School. President Dwight D. Eisenhower reacted to this use of the
Guard to foil the court-ordered integration by federalizing the entire Arkansas National Guard and using it to protect the nine black students
integrating Central High School.

This is not a partisan issue, many republicans in the early civil rights era were very much on the side of many civil rights issues of the
day.
